wsl will attempt to reconize users based on their emails (this only when users authenticate through Facebook, Google, Yahaoo or Foursquare as these provides verified emails). if not, a new account will be created.

on another completely unrelated note, this plugin is not designed nor intended to be bbPress or BuddyPress compatible.

Hi guys, I have been working in a site with buddypress and the Nextend Social Connect plugins (http://www.nextendweb.com/social-connect-plugins-for-wordpress.html) and they works fine the first time, the user is registered and logged-in, and the website shows the user correctly logged-in (also in the backend the user appear as registered fine), but if I refresh the home page or load any other page, the user is logged out without any reason.
Any ideas?

In other sites I have been used this settings (buddypress and nextend social connect plugins) and they works fine.
Somebody know what plugin can cause conflict with the user sessions duration?

As the OP, Miled, you definitely have my vote, given this lack of option to compete with Ning, which has 90,000 communities. See LinkinPark's register page on Ning with custom fields alongside the social sign-in: http://www.linkinpark.com/main/authorization/signUp? - this is what is all but prohibitive to set up competitively using BuddyPress without having to hire someone to do a custom plugin.

If anyone is interested in helping me test this (when it become available), please email me at hybridauth@gmail

Just to mention, @Tux Kapono, this is not about potential users or any of that s.. In fact numbers are really irrelevant.
One reason is because it was rightly pointed out and the whole project aims to provide the community with an entirely open source and independently operating alternative.

It'll free people to do a lot of good things, no question. Ning's proprietary system limits creativity. For our own purpose, we know it'll get more people to participate in their own physical communities if it was easier for them to login :) Kudos for helping the open source community be more effective.

@ivnus, its already done deal. and also, in the current state and when it come to bp, wsl is barely able to display the widget where it should be and to auth users. so there is no point reporting issue related to that..

bbPress vote here. I would *really* like it if it were compatible out of the box (haven't tried yet, but the default new user categories - different between the WordPress and bbPress sections - are what makes me think it won’t work right out of the box).

Now, if you could confirm that a new user would be given both the WordPress and bbPress default groups automatically, that would probably be what makes it 99% compatible.

@makbeta
I tried your functions.php snippet and it does seem to me to work.
Default avatar is still being used, despite Social Login shows avatars from the likes of Facebook and Instagram.
Are you using the latest BuddyPress or have any other thoughts why your code might not work?

Martin,
My code is running on the latest version of the BuddyPress and works without a hitch in my install.

To debug your issues I would suggest first trying to see if the function is being called at all. Put print "I'm here" in bfg_bp_core_fetch_avatar().
If the function is being called then I would jump to see what is_default_gravatar() returns on your user. If you site is secure you might want to modify the $url to start with https:// rather than http://
